Backdoor To My Heart Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

I seem to stack my life with bricks of stone—
How many a time I've been under attack?
This piercing arrow hides in shades of black!
I think I'll ever rather be alone;
Embraces won't me make less skin and bone:
They merely leave me wondering why you're back—
Why when the sands of time have hid our track!
I've known I must at last for love atone…
I'd wished this day won't have so soon to come—
In vain; I live my life behind a wall
Erected when I could not make you stay:
I should be feeling nothing now—I'm numb!
Alas, not toward those whom I did for fall
Erstwhile; my smile—the first who got away…
